Genesis 50
1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
Yusufu akahuzunika sana hata akauangukia uso wa baba yake, akamlilia, na kumbusu.
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
Yusufu akawaagiza watumishi wake matabibu kumtia dawa babaye. Hivyo matabibu wakampaka dawa Israeli.
3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many the days it takes for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him for seventy days.
Wakatimiza siku arobain, kwani huo ndio uliokuwa muda kamili wa kutia dawa. Wamisri wakamlilia kwa siku sabini
4 When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Siku za maombolezo zilipotimia, Yusufu akaongea na watumishi wa baraza la kifalme wa Farao kusema, “Ikiwa nimepata kibali machoni penu, tafadharini ongeeni na Farao, kusema,
5 'My father made me take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return again.'"
'Baba yangu aliniapisha, kusema, “Tazama, ninakaribia kufa. Unizike katika kaburi nililolichimba kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe katika nchi ya Kanaani. Ndipo utakaponizika.” Basi sasa niruhusu niende nimzike baba yangu, na kisha nitarudi.”
6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."
Farao akajibu, “Nenda na umzika baba yako, kama alivyokuwapisha.”
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Yusufu akaenda kumzika baba yake. Maofisa wa Farao wote wakaenda pamoja naye - washauri wa nyumba yake, maofisa waandamizi wote wa nchi ya Misri,
8 all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
pamoja na nyumba yote ya Yusufu na ndugu zake, na nyumba yote ya baba yake. Lakini watoto wao, kondoo wao na makundi ya mbuzi wao yaliachwa katika nchi ya Gosheni.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.
Vibandawazi na wapanda farasi pia walikwenda pamoja naye. Lilikuwa kundi kubwa sana la watu.
10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.
Hata walipokuja katika sakafu ya kupuria ya Atadi upande mwingine wa Yordani, wakaomboleza kwa majonzi ya huzuni kubwa. Yusufu akafanya maombolezo ya siku saba kwa ajili ya babaye pale.
11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.
Wenyeji wa nchi, Wakanaani, walipoona maombolezo katika sakafu ya Atadi, wakasema, “Hili ni tukio la kuhuzunisha sana kwa Wamisri.” Ndiyo maana eneo hilo likaitwa Abeli Mizraimu, lililoko mbele ya Yordani.
12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,
Hivyo wanawe wakamfanyia Yakobo kama alivyokuwa amewaagiza.
13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.
Wana wake wakampeleka katika nchi ya Kanaani na wakamzika katika pango katika shamba la Makpela, karibu na Mamre. Ibrahimi alikuwa amelinunua pango pamoja na shamba kwa ajili ya eneo la kuzikia. Alikuwa amelinunua kutoka kwa Efroni Mhiti.
14 Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.
Baada ya kuwa amemzika babaye, Yusufu akarudi Misri, yeye, pamoja na ndugu zake, na wote waliokuwa wamemsindikiza ili kumzika babaye.
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."
Nduguze Yusufu walipoona kwamba baba yao amekufa, wakasema, “Itakuwaje ikiwa Yusufu atatukasirikia na akataka kutulipa kikamilifu kwa ajili ya uovu tuliomtenda?”
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,
Hivyo wakamwagiza Yusufu, kusema, “Baba yako alitoa maelekezo kabla hajafa, kusema,
17 Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
'Mwambieni hivi Yusufu, “Tafadhari samehe makosa ya ndugu zako na dhambi yao uovu waliokutenda.” Basi wasamehe watumishi wa Mungu wa baba yako.” Yusufu akalia walipomwambia.
18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."
Ndugu zake pia wakaenda na kuinamisha nyuso zao mbele zake. Wakasema, “Tazama, sisi ni watumishi wako.”
19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
Lakini Yusufu akawajibu, “Msiogope, Je mimi ni badala ya Mungu?
20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.
Lakini kwenu, mlikusudia kunidhuru, lakini Mungu alikusudia mema, kuhifadhi maisha ya watu wengi, kama mwonavyo leo.
21 So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
Hivyo basi msiogope. Nitawahudumia ninyi na watoto wenu wadogo.” Kwa njia hii aliwatia moyo na kuongea na mioyo yao kwa upole.
22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
Yusufu akakaa Misri, pamoja na familia ya baba yake. Akaishi miaka mia moja na kumi.
23 Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.
Yusufu akawaona wana wa Efraimu hata kizazi cha tatu. Pia aliwaona wana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase, waliowekwa katika magoti ya Yusufu.
24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
Yusufu akawambia ndugu zake, “Ninakaribia kufa; lakini kwa hakika Mungu atawajilia na kuwaongoza kutoka katika nchi hii na kuwapeleka katika nch aliyoapa kumpa Ibrahimu, kwa Isaka na kwa Yakobo.”
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."
Kisha Yusufu akawaapisha watu wa Israeli kwa kiapo. Akasema, “Bila shaka Mungu atawajilia. Wakati huo mtachukuwa mifupa yangu kutoka hapa.”
26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
Hivyo Yusufu akafa, mwenye miaka 110. Wakampaka dawa na akawekwa katika jeneza huko Misri.
